Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fry.
Judged on this season alone, Fry graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship, on 7 clean sheets and 3.282 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 48th of 82 of the 82 centre-backs in the Championship. At 28 Fry is in his prime years, and a market index of 37.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Fry missed 5 games through injury (injury, inactive) out of roughly 49 this season. The 32 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 49.4, Fry carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Championship of 82. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.28 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~63), then tapers with age. At 28, Fry sits on 37.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Fry's projected Rating — 49.4 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
